Chapter 95 Intention
Concession King Mansion.
"Brother Jin, do we have to help Huang Jinrong conquer the world?" Looking at the casualties report of the Axe Gang in his hand, Erdan felt a pity and couldn't help but question it.
"What do you know?" Wang Jin was angry and funny, pointing at Erdan's nose and cursing: "Short-eyed! I don't know where your mind has been put all day long. Haven't you noticed the situation outside at all?" As he said that, he lay on his backrest chair angrily and never bothered to pay attention to this guy anymore.[]
Erdan was confused by the scolding, touched his head and looked depressed, frowned and could not figure out what the situation was related to the gang melee of the Shanghai stall?
"Hmph, you are a lump of wood. Think about the scene when we were still in Anqing, and combined with the current situation in Anqing in the information, have you not found anything?" Wang Jin asked with regret.
"Nothing changed..." Erdan's old face turned red and his expression became even more distinct, and his awkward answer became smaller and smaller.
What a top quality! Wang Jin lost some of this guy's interest, so he should explain it clearly by himself, otherwise the comrades will have a knot in their hearts and will not be able to arrange their future work.
"Have you not noticed that the financial situation of the government is getting more and more difficult? Don't stare. I admit that all the officials and men are rich and their families do not rely on their salaries to support themselves. However, not all the workers rely on exploiting the people to nourish their lives. Some officials do not have this right, so how can they exploit them?"
Erdan looked dissatisfied. What was there to be surprised about this? Is there a good thing in the official who is starving to death? He deserves to be starved to death! Of course, his thoughts are inevitably a bit extreme, but you can also wonder how dark the Qing Dynasty's officialdom is today.
"You guy, you have to use your brain to think about it carefully. Don't just care about your wife and children all day long!" Wang Jin gave Erdan a angrily and continued to explain: "You think, even the salary of the officials is almost impossible to pay, let alone the clerks and those soldiers below?"
Erdan suddenly felt energetic, and he heard something from Wang Jin's words...
"It's okay for those clerks to ask the people to exploit them when they have no money. In short, they won't be hungry and their families. But those Ziqiu Ba are different. They have military disciplines to restrain them, and there are very few opportunities to make extra money. Except for those officials who can live a more comfortable life after they have no salary, you can imagine how those big-headed soldiers have lost their salary. I think you shouldn't be so forgetful. How did Xiong Chengji and the others get what they did?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it. It's not that the military pay was robbed, the unstable morale of the army caused turmoil in the military camp. Wait, Brother Jin, what do you mean..." Erdan opened his eyes wide in surprise, his face full of incredible and shock.
"Yes, the situation of the Qing court is extremely bad now. If it is not even bad, there will be dangers of a game. So we must be prepared to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in a very bad state in the face of the turbulent situation in the future!" Wang Jin waved his fist and said with a firm look on his face.
"But..." Erdan's face changed and he touched his head in confusion: "But, does this have anything to do with our cooperation with Huang Jinrong? It's not that I look down on others. Isn't it that Huang Jinrong doesn't even make a fuss in Shanghai? What can it help us?"
"Ma, what I want is his power in Shanghai, which can ensure that after I leave, the Shanghai branch will not be isolated and helpless." Wang Jin interrupted Erdan without hesitation and said in a deep voice.
"What, Brother Jin, you are leaving again, where are you going?" Erdan's shock was extraordinary. Whether Wang Jin was in Shanghai was still a big difference. A few days ago, I was worried all day long, afraid that I would do something wrong and ruin Shanghai's foundation. I felt so trembling as if I had been thinning ice. He didn't want to try again.
"Haha, you guy is really a pig-brained guy!" Wang Jin shook his head and laughed, pointing at Erdan and wondering what to say. At the same time, he was a little moved and warm and comfortable. But now is not the time to talk about brotherly feelings, so it is better to say something clearly: "I have said so much to me before, but it has become useless. You guy is confused by the flower world of Shanghai, even if you forget our foundation?" After speaking, his tone was extremely stern.
He glanced at the second stall with a panic on his face, and continued to criticize: "You don't think about it. If the Qing Dynasty continues to develop in this way, it will sooner or later not be able to hold on to the collapse. At that time, the turbulence is the time for us to rise up. Our foundation is still in Anhui and Huoshan, not the Shanghai stall in Huahua World. Humph, I want to make a fortune by relying on the Shanghai stall. Do you think it is possible to achieve something in this way? Even if the headquarters of the Tongmenghui has no orders issued at that time, I will rush back to Anhui as soon as possible and be fully prepared when the situation is not completely chaotic, so that I can make a fortune in the wonton situation!"
"Then there is no need to cooperate with Huang Jinrong. Shen Xingshan, the 'Eight Major Party', is stronger. Isn't it more in line with our requirements?" Erdan suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to raise his doubts.
Wang Jin nodded. This is human nature and nothing to say. He asked replies without answering: "Shen Xingshan is indeed strong enough. We are a new force. Do you think everyone can be in an equal position in cooperation?"
"This..." Erdan hesitated a little, and he didn't dare to make a promise.
"No, but Huang Jinrong can do it!" Wang Jin chuckled, and a strange curve curled up at the corner of his mouth: "What's more, don't forget where Shen Xingshan's territory is, and where our territory in Shanghai is? As the saying goes, 'One mountain does not accommodate two tigers', Shen Xingshan cannot leave it around him and threaten his forces, right? Huang Jinrong is different. His foundation is in the French Concession and has no personal conflict relationship with us, so there is a foundation for equal cooperation!"
Erdan pondered for a moment when he heard this, and finally nodded convincingly. He did not continue to mess with this topic and asked curiously: "I just heard what you meant just now. Not only did you want to return to Anhui, but the headquarters of Tongmenghui will also ask you to return to Anhui to comment on the overall situation. Isn't this possible?"
